ACV - Job - 10

10:1  My soul is weary of my life. I will give free reign to my complaint. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

10:2  I will say to God, Do not condemn me. Show me why thou contend with me.

10:3  Is it good to thee that thou should oppress, that thou should despise the work of thy hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?

10:4  Have thou eyes of flesh? Or do thou see as man sees?

10:5  Are thy days as the days of man, or thy years as man's days,

10:6  that thou inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin,

10:7  although thou know that I am not wicked. And there is none that can deliver out of thy hand?

10:8  Thy hands have made me and fashioned me together round about, yet thou destroy me.

10:9  Remember, I beseech thee, that thou have fashioned me as clay. And will thou bring me into dust again?

10:10  Have thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?

10:11  Thou have clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.

10:12  Thou have granted me life and loving kindness, and thy visitation has preserved my spirit.

10:13  Yet these things thou hid in thy heart. I know that this is with thee.

10:14  If I sin, then thou mark me. And thou will not acquit me from my iniquity.

10:15  If I be wicked, woe to me. And if I be righteous, yet I shall not lift up my head, being filled with shame, and looking upon my affliction.

10:16  And if my head exalts itself, thou hunt me as a lion. And again thou show thyself marvelous upon me.

10:17  Thou renew thy witnesses against me, and increase thine indignation upon me. Changes and warfare are with me.

10:18  Why then have thou brought me forth out of the womb? I would have given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me.

10:19  I should have been as though I had not been. I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.

10:20  Are not my days few? Cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little

10:21  before I go where I shall not return, to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death,

10:22  the land dark as midnight, of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as midnight.
